520    "If you like Bernard Conwell's Grail Quest series, you'll 
       love The French Executioner and The Curse of Anne Boleyn .
       To my mind Cornwell is good, but Humphreys is better."--
       Sally Zigmund, Historical Novels Review (UK) The last 
       thing Jean Rombaud expects upon being summoned to behead 
       Anne Boleyn is to dedicate his life to her. But the ill-
       fated queen has a mysterious request for her executioner: 
       that after taking her life he also take her infamous six-
       fingered hand and bury it at a sacred crossroads in 
       France. His oath will set Jean on the most dangerous 
       journey of his life. In The French Executioner , C.C. 
       Humphreys once again brings the past to life in all its 
       glory and peril. This thrilling novel captures the 
       breathtaking story of how courage, love, and loyalty bound
       Anne Boleyn to the man who ended her life--and saved her 
       legacy. "Humphreys has fashioned a rollicking good yarn 
       that keeps the pages turning from start to finish."--Irish
       Examiner "A wonderful saga of magic and heroism. If you 
       can find a first impression, hoard it and wait till it 
       rises in value like a first edition of Lord of the Rings. 
       This is as good."--Crime Time, UK "A brilliant, brutal, 
       and absorbing historical thriller on the real-life figure 
       of Jean Rombaud, the man who beheaded Anne Boleyn."--
       Northern Echo "An entertaining read--a charming page 
       turner."--Edmonton Journal "Lightning paced."--Publishing 
       News
